US-Canada bridge set to open by late July after delay due to issues between countries, sources say
Canada and Michigan agreed to a 15-year toll revenue split and development fund after weeks of delays, officials said.
- By the end of July, the Gordie Howe International Bridge is expected to open after U.S. and Canadian officials reached an agreement to resolve the dispute that delayed its debut.
- President Donald Trump threatened to block the bridge's opening in February, demanding Canada hand over at least half ownership of the new bridge to the United States government as part of broader trade disputes.
- Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers confirmed on Friday that the deal is imminent, citing recent discussions with Secretary of Commerce Lutnick about the agreement's announcement in coming days.
- Spanning the Detroit River, the 1.5-mile-long structure connects Detroit with Windsor and is expected to ease congestion at the existing Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor tunnel.
- Work on the project has been underway since 2018, negotiated by Rick Snyder, the former Republican governor of Michigan, and financed by Canada at a cost approaching $4.4 billion.
